Pregnancy signs and symptoms
May 8, 2008
Pregnancy, most of the time, is a blithe and cheerfull condition. Most women will think they are real women when they are pregnant. Although pregnancy is pervasive (i bet everyone knows what pregnancy is), but some women are not sure when they are on a pregnancy condition since they don’t really know what are the signs and symptoms of pregnancy.
To say that someone is pregnant, one’s condition should be examined, both subjectively and objectively. The Subjective data is the conditions felt by the woman itself (or we may call it pregnancy symptoms felt by the woman). while the objective data is the pregnant woman’s symptoms that can be seen by anyone else (or we may call it pregnancy signs).
The signs and symptoms of pregnancy can be devided into two categories, the signs and symptoms that MUST BE present during pregnancy and the signs and symptoms that MAY NOT be present during pregnancy.
Pregnancy symptoms and signs that may not be present during pregnancy is:
* No menstruation. This is the first sign and one of pregnancy signs most people know. From this sign, you can estimate embryo’s day of birth. The forumulas to calculate baby’s birth are:
(Last menstrution’s day + 7) = estimated date of birth
(last menstruation’s month-3) = estimated month of birth
* Bellyful, followed by puking. This happens especially during the early months of pregnancy.
* Uncomfortable during excretion, this is caused by hormonal changes.
* Frequent urination, especially on the last months of pregnancy.
* No appetite.
